OOPS.

I can't believe that it's been a month since I've posted. Time just flies by.

I love autumn, and I love to bake. It seems the perfect time to start making soups, and that rhubarb
I froze this summer was calling to me.

It makes the best crisp.
And bread is a snap, when you've got the pellet stove fired up, nothing makes it rise so well.

I'm taking a break from baby wraps for a bit. This is the last of the Mermaid wraps. I hope to be taking it to the Hudson Mohawk Weaver's Guild show in November.

This is by my driveway.

One of my favorite maples. I just love the gold/yellow/oranges. In fact, it's one of the warps I love the best.

There's this weaving draft that I have lusted over for some time. But I don't have a computerized loom, so I thought it was out of reach for me.
Then I decided to try it anyway. It took two hours to peg 110 dobby bars, and they drag on the floor.
I wasn't at all sure it was even going to work.

I was thrilled to find out that it DOES work.

Is it feathers? Or trees?

I don't know but I love it.

So I decided that pegging dobby bars is not that much fun, and since I really don't want to buy another loom, I ordered the Compudobby from AVL for my loom. It won't be here until Christmas, or after, but wow, it's exciting still!!!!

I am blessed with my family, and it's a special joy when my youngest grand comes to visit.

Here she is giving me the look. She had instructed me to STOP taking her picture.

But a little later, she forgave me.

Life is good. I'll try to be back sooner. I'm amazed that anyone is still out there reading.

Good evening. I figured you were just on a really long vacation!! LOL You do such beautiful work. And I love your granddaughter's LOOK. LOL I feel like that when I'm having a bad hair day and someone just has to have a picture. I'm glad to see you back!

Those wraps are stunning, beautiful patterns and colors !I'm smiling at the look on your granddaughters face, the first picture is priceless :)Happy to know you are having good days, and are back in the swing of creating those gorgeous weaves.Hugs,~Jo

Dale is getting taller by the minute, such a sweet little face. Love your new feather/tree/fern draft, very beautiful. How exciting to be getting an AVL computer box for your loom, you will have such fun with it. Glad you are doing well!

I was just telling myself if you didn't have an update before november, I was going to come up and check on you and Lois. Happy Fall! It was quite a winter day today! So excited for you regarding your new tool. Have fun!Deb from Argyle

Your weaving is gorgeous. I'm a rookie weaver and haven't been at the loom for several years. Your work is so inspirational. Love "the look!" My 4-yr-old grandson used to give me the same treatment when I tried to take photos of him.

My favorite source for weaving yarn.

8/2 cotton from Georgia Yarn Co.

About Me

I am an 'older' woman, who refuses to get old. I think I am really twelve, and my family will often agree. I have found my passion in weaving, and have left one career to begin another. What? I don't have all the time in the world???
